    "The Parable of Two Lost Sons" Luke 15:11-32 Pastor John Bright Luke 15 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.” Pause right there. Those words I just read; they were “Breathed by God”! God wants you to hear His Word right now! So, what is your response? Do you ...read more

    Although the main focus of the Prodigal Son parable is the ungracious brother, the assumptions made about the Prodigal’s father are enlightening.

    The Heart of a Father (Luke 15:11-32) 1. Father’s Day -- what can we say? 2. Sermon Central took a poll, and this would be mostly of pastors. The question and results are as follows: What do you expect for Father’s Day? A big deal 3% Simple card/gift 42% Nothing 35% Surprise ...read more

    A Father’s Day message using the parable of the lost son in Luke 15. Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    Fathers are very special people. I personally think we are special partly because we are men. Of course, only men will agree with that. Here are a few examples of why I say that. If you are a man, ... You’ll never waste time asking for directions ... You can finish all phone calls in less ...read more

    The Portrait Of A Godly Father

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 18, 2022
     | 3,650 views

    When we consider Jesus’ audience, there is a much deeper truth. Jesus shows the sinners, publicans, scribes and the pharisees what God is really like and he paints a picture of a Godly Father.

    Sermon: The Portrait of a Godly Father Text: Luke 15: 1-24 1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them ...read more

    Who is the real emphasis on in the commonly called "Parable of the Prodigal son"? It may surprise you who was the real prodigal!

    THE PRODIGAL FATHER LUKE 15:11-24 INTRO: Jesus often spoke in parables in his teachings. 1. What is a parable? a. Parable signifies "the placing of one thing beside another" with a view to comparison. b. It is the lesson that is of value; the hearer must catch the analogy if he is to be ...read more

    If these mere created beings were called ‘gods’ to whom “the word of God CAME,” how can Jesus’ assailants accuse Him of blasphemy, “whom the Father hath sanctified (set apart as holy), and sent unto the world?”

    THE SON OF GOD. John 10:31-36. JOHN 10:31. It is hardly surprising that the mob were in the mood to lynch Jesus! Jesus had just made the bold declaration, ‘I and my Father are one’ (cf. John 10:30). His opponents clearly understood this to be a claim to equality with God, (something which even ...read more

    Papa God!

    After God created Adam, ‘Papa God’ got busy doing things one after the other for His son Adam, it was like a home with a new born baby!

    Papa God! Genesis 2:8” And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.” I read something delightful today from the book of Genesis chapter two, and I thought it would bless you too! May be there’s something in it for each one ...read more

    Isaac, Son Of Abraham

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 8, 2021
     | 3,466 views

    Isaac seems to have lived in the shadows of his father (Abraham) and his sons (Esau and Jacob). He is mentioned less than either of these, but he stayed faithful to the God of his father, Abraham. So can we!

    Introduction: Isaac does not have as much coverage in the Bible as his father, Abraham, or his sons, Esau and Jacob. He still lived for the True and the Living God, serving Him much as Abraham had done and Jacob would do later on. Isaac outlived both father and son, finally dying at the age of 180. ...read more

    Don’t listen to the voice of rebellion. Instead, listen to the Father’s voice of rebuke, the Son’s voice of resolve, and the Spirit’s voice of reason: Jesus is King. Worship, honor, and trust Him.

    S. I. McMillen, in his book None of These Diseases, tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the question on the application blank that asked, “Are you a leader?” Being both honest and conscientious, she wrote, “No,” and ...read more

    We may travel different routes to control our future but both paths end with us needing God in our lives. The Parable of the two sons and a loving father.

    A Tale Of Two Sons 11/7/2021 Psalm 14:1-7 Luke 15:1-32 Suppose for a moment that you could write all the rules for your own life. Nobody could tell you what to do. You were in complete control without having to be concerned with what God thinks. Do you think your life would be ...read more

    Jesus gives us an inside look at the heart of God the Father and at the same time showing the Jews that their special place and status is secure. Jesus did not come to remove them from their place but instead wanted to see them willingly take their place

    The Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-32 Today we look at a parable that many of us know well or at least we think we know it well. However as always the Holy Spirit of God desires to lead us into all truth or deeper truth about God’s word. It is important to remember that all of God’s word is meant to ...read more

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

    Introduction Today we will be studying a fairly familar passage of scripture, familar to most of us as the parable of the prodigal son but most aptly called in my opinion the parable of the good father. Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    Father’s who allow anger to take control of their minds will stop expressing love to those closest to them. Why, because the emotion of uncontrolled anger turns to rage and drives out the emotion and presence of love.
